Reg's Coffee House
Reg's Coffee House is a syndicated radio music program produced and hosted by Scott Register. It airs on Sundays from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on WYSF FM 94.5.
From its start in January 1997 to November 2006 the program was a Sunday mid-day staple at WRAX (at FM 105.9, FM 107.7 and FM 100.5), occupying a a three-hour time slot.
Reg's Coffee House, which has introduced numerous artists to the Birmingham market, gained a dedicated following. Many of the songs which debuted on the program later made it into the regular rotation during WRAX's peak under program director Dave Rossi. The show contributed greatly to the X's national reputation as a cutting-edge alternative.
On November 29, 2006, Citadel Communication pulled the plug on the X and switched FM 100.5 to WJOX's sports talk format. After talks with several stations, the show returned to the air in its present four-hour format with a Christmas special on Sunday, December 24, 2006 on WYSF. Nine other radio stations across the country syndicate a one-hour version of the program.
A 10-year anniversary concert was held on February 17, 2007 at the Alabama Theatre, headlined by Patty Griffin.
Beginning July 28, 2008 the show was moved to 100.5 FM.
